4 competitors will face each other in first to 2 until finals, which are first to 3s. Players are allowed to be in the same call as each other in order to maintain integrity. (Basically, so it's harder to gang up on one player.)

  Battle Mode Ruleset

• The timer is 5 min
• E10G is banned (You can gentlemen to a four-way ditto)
• Every round all players will vote the stage they wish to play in dolphin chat. In the event of a tie, Player 1 has tie breaker priority, followed by player 2, and so on. There is no DSR.
• The winning player of the last game chooses their characters first, then the losers counterpick in order of port. (Characters matter in this mode due to TE changes)
• If the game goes to time, the player with the most hit points wins. If the game goes to time and multiple players have equal hit points, the game will be replayed on the same stage with only the players who tied while using the same characters. If a tie happens more than once in a set, then the next game must be played on Space Theatre because camping players are gonna get bodied because they can't time you out. (This rule only applies if two players are on game point)
